Description

Ah, passive aggression - the most tender form of confession of love. When a hater writes a diss track, but it sounds like they just miss you so much. Every biting line hides hidden affection, every attack is attention turned into a compliment. And the louder the anger, the stronger the attachment.

The music smiles through the gloss and sarcasm, like a person who has finally understood: hatred is also a form of adoration, just poorly behaved. And that makes it even pleasant. After all, sometimes “I hate you” sounds much more romantic than “I love you.”

Lyrics and translation

Original

I heard you call me "Boring Barbie" when the coke's got you brave

High-fived my ex, and then you said you're glad he ghosted me

Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face

Some people might be offended

But it's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly wild

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you, ooh

No man has ever loved me like you do

Hadn't thought of you in a long time

But you keep sending me funny valentines

And I know you think it comes off vicious

But it's precious, adorable

Like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse

That's how much it hurts

How many times has your boyfriend said

"Why are we always talking 'bout her?"

It's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly wild

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you, ooh

No man has ever loved me like you do

You think I'm tacky, baby

Stop talking dirty to me

It sounded nasty, but it

Feels like you're flirting with me

I mind my business, God's my witness that I don't provoke it

It's kind of making me wet (oh)

'Cause it's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly lovely

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

Really got to hand it to you, to you

No man has ever loved me like you do

It's actually romantic

(You've just given me so much)

La-la-la-la, romantic (attention)

It's actually romantic (it's so)

Shoo-bop-bop, romantic
